The Journey
The Part 18
After the incident where Alex and Irene were crying for a long time, now they have calmed down with irene who was in ben's sling and looks to be asleep for a while longer. While Alex remains in Marcus' arms and is not much different from Irene, Alex will also fall asleep for a while longer seen from his slightly opened eyes.
Marcus and ben are now in a pretty fancy restaurant after Marcus follows Ben who is in business at the andreasCorp company because neither Alex nor Irene want to part with Ben.
"are you waiting for la...."
Shocked is what is drawn on the face of people who approach them so they can not continue he said.
simon is the one who approaches Marcus and Ben makes a small conversation both disconnected and stares at simon with a gaze of understanding for his reaction.
ben asks simon to sit next to him slowly afraid that his movements will awaken the sleeping irene in his arms, simon's eyes glazed over and look at Alex and Irene's sleeping bodies with eyes of longing. ben knows what it's like to see Alex and Irene, who they've been looking for so long, so much longing, lost worries and the desire to hug the two kids. simon with unstable emotions could not hold back his tears any longer when he finally saw Alex and Irene after trying to find them for more than 1 year.
Marcus seemed to understand the situation immediately gave Alex who had fallen asleep into the arms of simon slowly afraid to wake Alex who was very tired from crying. simon very carefully and gently received Alex who fell asleep as if he was a little less careful then the little body Alex will be destroyed and disappear again.
Tests..
Simon's tears fell on Alex's cheeks, trying not to let out his sobbing sound simon hugged Alex slightly tightly and with his trembling body still trying to hide his cries. Marcus and ben inform this incident because both Marcus and Ben know if simon is the most tortured here when losing Alex and irene.
"eungh.." Alex groans as he feels disturbed sleep.
simon who heard it tried to calm Alex back to sleep despite the difficulties because he also had to make sure if his body did not tremble because it held back his cries
Slowly but surely Alex's eyes opened, trying to digest what was happening. After a while he looked around it was Ben who was still hugging the sleeping irene and Marcus who was sitting in front of him with a smile on him. Alex's brain was digesting so quickly that his consciousness emerged as his mind found the answer if not his uncle who held him and who?!.
Alex turns his head back to see who hugs him and disturbs his sleep, Alex's eyes immediately tear up when he finds out the person who hugged him is simon the daddy who saved them first. Turning his body to be able to hug simon tightly was the first thing Alex did
"hiks.... Daddy" sobs Alex back and is heard by the three adults
(sorry son)
"daddy Sorry.... Hyks hyks" Alex says makes simon tighter
(papa sorry)
"this isn't.. Hix.. Your fault boy, it's my fault" said simon still with his sobs
(it's my fault)
Marcus and ben smile when they see Simon coming back to life after seeing Alex and Irene, after a while later Alex who was still exhausted from crying fell asleep again with a position of tightly hugging simon and simon who had controlled his emotions back.
Hours passed quickly, including more than 2 hours of Marcus, ben and simon talking about Alex and irene to talk about business. The sky is getting orange, they do not feel that it is now 4 pm and Marcus has an appointment schedule for dinner with his business partner. The three agree to take Alex and Irene who are still asleep to go home to the andreas mansion with ben and simon.
"then I'll take Alex and Irene, I know you'll take good care of them. I'm leaving first" Marcus said smiling for a moment at Ben and Simon as his former underclassmen patting them gently on the shoulder
"be careful Marcus" said ben and simon at the same time and thanked marcus again in return for a wave of hands by marcus.
"i'll call sam to buy all their gear, you take care of Irene for a second" ben said after seeing Marcus come out of the shop and gave Irene a slumber into the sling of simon and passed away leaving simon without hearing a reply from simon.
irene moved for a moment looking for a comfortable position before falling back asleep due to simon's delicate strokes on her small back.simon smiled gently and sincerely at this moment, the moment he had been waiting for this one year was to hug his two adopted children back and it was happening now. Simon kisses the top of alex and irene's head gently over and over again until it interferes with alex and irene's sleep and simon stops.
ben returns after a while and invites simon to go home after confirming that simon can hold Irene and Alex who are asleep safely, ben follows by carrying two small bags owned by irene and Alex in his right hand while his left hand ben open the passenger door located next to the driver's seat for simon because ben who will drive the simon car to go home while the car will be taken by the driver.
simon slowly sat in the car seat very slowly so as not to wake Alex and Irene who were still soundly asleep in his coal sling. ben also slowly helps simon to sit down and change the position of Alex and Irene's legs so as not to be depressed by simon's body, after making sure if simon can sit properly. He slowly closed the door slowly so as not to wake Alex and Irene and then walked around to the driver's door after putting both Alex's small bag and irene's back seat.
